I’m the type of person who puts their Halloween decorations out a month too early, and a good season of spooky games only makes me more irritatingly festive. I’m not sure I’ll even finish last month’s Silent Hill before October’s new games calendar of horrors kicks off, but I’m absolutely delighted by the handful of…

Old School RuneScape has been around for, oh, about 12 years now, and in all that time it’s never gotten a new skill. Players have been working with—and making great sport of—the set of skills it inherited from the original RuneScape, which itself last got a new skill (that’d be Hunter) all the way back…
Magic hands make light work. This review originally went live in 2014, and we’re updating and republishing it to celebrate the game’s arrival in Switch’s Game Boy Advance library via the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack.

A few week’s back a known Nintendo distributor in Guatemala had an online listing for a Prince of Persia Remake from Ubisoft which was listed for the Nintendo Switch platform and others. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier announced on his podcast that the listing is legitimate and that the Prince of Persia Remake will be announced and…
Governments are increasingly considering integrating autonomous AI agents in high-stakes military and foreign-policy decision-making. That’s the pithy, dispassionate observation of a recent study from a collective of US universities. So, they set out to discover just how the latest AI models behave when pitched against one another in a range of wargame scenarios. The results…
Whenever I think of old-school programming, I think of people like Dave Plummer, the creator of the original Task Manager. Working for Microsoft in the 1990s, he built that app, which we now very much take for granted, brick by metaphorical brick. That isn’t to say there was zero hackiness involved—far from it, as with…
A minor theme in FromSoftware’s peerless Soulsborne games is the occasional appearance of an enemy that, for whatever reason, doesn’t aggro on you. My favourite example of this is a mass of crows in Bloodborne’s Hemwick Charnel Lane, all of which bar one will attack, while the remaining crow just sits there all dopey-like. In…
I’ve been hyping myself up for Elden Ring Nightreign’s Deep of Night mode ever since it was uncovered by dataminers a month ago. It’s not like I need an excuse to play, but running through Nightlords and Everdark Sovereigns was starting to get tedious. I wanted a new challenge, and what better than a ranked…
